| 0:00.0 | 971, Valenti and Rico. Mark in for Mike the rest of this week. |
| 0:07.0 | So the million dollar question, Scott Harris, inks Kevin McGonigal. |
| 0:12.5 | Perfect tie-in to the question, who is the best general manager this city has right now? |
| 0:19.9 | Rico says it's Scott Harris by a nose. I say it's Trajan Langdon |
| 0:25.3 | by a similar nose. And yet there are knocks on each one. I really didn't like how little |
| 0:32.5 | Trades and Langdon did at the deadline. They keep saying they don't want to skip steps, but I got some news for you. |
| 0:38.7 | You've already skipped about 30 of them. No one else has gone from 14 wins to 44 to 60, |

| 1:20.0 | Analytically, the pistons struggle with deep shooting. They struggle with scoring. And so I would have |
| 1:25.3 | loved to have seen a play for somebody that can put the biscuit in the |
| 1:28.6 | basket. |
| 1:29.5 | They didn't do that. |
| 1:30.9 | They didn't get that done. |
| 1:32.4 | That is why Trajan Langdon doesn't have a 10. |
| 1:35.2 | But he's done everything else beautifully. |
